Question 2

According to Keynesians,__________ monetary policy will not remove the economy from a(an)__________ gap if __________.

Accepted Answer

According to Keynesians, expansionary monetary policy can help to remove an economy from a recessionary gap. However, if the economy is in the liquidity trap, where interest rates are already at or near zero, then further monetary policy actions will not be effective in stimulating aggregate demand and removing the economy from the recessionary gap. Therefore, only option B correctly identifies the situation where expansionary monetary policy will not be effective in removing the economy from a recessionary gap.

Question 3

Question 5

The economy is in a recessionary gap and there is complete crowding out.Furthermore,there is no evidence that the economy is in a liquidity trap or that investment is interest-insensitive.This makes the case for the use of __________ policy stronger than it might be otherwise.

Accepted Answer

In a recessionary gap with complete crowding out and no liquidity trap or interest-insensitive investment, expansionary monetary policy is more effective. It can lower interest rates to stimulate investment and consumption without being offset by crowding out, which is a limitation of fiscal policy in this scenario.

Question 6

The Taylor Rule specifies that the federal funds rate target should be equal to

Accepted Answer

The Taylor Rule equation is expressed as follows: federal funds rate target = current inflation rate + equilibrium interest rate + 0.5 (inflation gap) + 0.5 (output gap). However, in this question, the equilibrium interest rate is represented as 1, which substitutes the actual equilibrium interest rate. Therefore, the correct equation for this question becomes: federal funds rate target = current inflation rate + 1 + 0.5 (inflation gap) + 0.5 (output gap). Option B is the correct answer as it matches this equation.

Question 7

The money supply decreased and the AD curve shifted to the left.This is consistent with the

Accepted Answer

A decrease in the money supply leading to a leftward shift in the Aggregate Demand (AD) curve is consistent with both the Keynesian transmission mechanism (when there is neither a liquidity trap nor interest-insensitive investment) and the monetarist transmission mechanism. Both schools of thought recognize that a reduction in the money supply can decrease aggregate demand, though they explain the process through different mechanisms.

Question 8

The economy is in a recessionary gap,wages are inflexible downward,and investment spending is insensitive to changes in the interest rate.In this situation,a Keynesian is likely to advocate the use of __________ policy.

Accepted Answer

In a recessionary gap, where wages are inflexible downward and investment spending is insensitive to changes in the interest rate, Keynesian economists are likely to suggest the use of expansionary fiscal policy, which involves increased government spending and/or decreased taxes to stimulate aggregate demand and boost overall economic activity. Expanding the money supply would be less effective in this situation due to the low responsiveness of investment spending to changes in interest rates.

Question 9

If you believe the economy is self-regulating,you are more likely to be a(an)__________ than a(an)__________.

Accepted Answer

Believing that the economy is self-regulating implies a nonactivist approach, as it suggests that government intervention is not necessary. Therefore, choosing A (nonactivist; activist) is the best answer. B (Keynesian; monetarist) and D (advocate of fiscal policy; advocate of monetary policy) are incorrect as they relate to specific economic theories rather than the general belief in government intervention. E (B and D) is not the best answer as it includes economic theories instead of a general belief in government intervention.

Question 10

...

Question 11

Suppose that a rules-based monetary policy proposal specifies that the money supply will grow 3 percent each year.If velocity grows 1 percent this year and Real GDP grows 2 percent,the price level will __________ by __________ percent.

Accepted Answer

According to the quantity theory of money, MV=PY, where M is the money supply, V is velocity, P is the price level, and Y is real GDP. If the money supply grows 3%, then we have M’=1.03M. If velocity grows 1%, then we have V’=1.01V. If real GDP grows 2%, then we have Y’=1.02Y. The equation becomes (1.03M)(1.01V)=(P)(1.02Y), or M’V’=PY’. Solving for P, we get P=(M’V’)/Y’. Plugging in the values, we have P=(1.03M)(1.01V)/(1.02Y)=(1.0403/1.02)P, which simplifies to P=1.0196P. Therefore, the price level will rise by approximately 2%.

Question 12

The economy is in a recessionary gap and there is evidence that the economy is in a liquidity trap.In this situation,a Keynesian is likely to advocate the use of __________ policy.

Accepted Answer

In a recessionary gap with evidence of a liquidity trap, the standard tools of monetary policy (such as adjusting interest rates) may not be effective in stimulating the economy. Therefore, a Keynesian would advocate for the use of expansionary fiscal policy, such as increased government spending and/or tax cuts, to boost aggregate demand and promote economic growth.

Question 14

Buddy bought a bond last year for $10,000.His bond pays $1,000 a year.This year a bond that sells for $10,000 pays $900 a year.If Buddy were to sell his (old)bond,its price would be approximately

Accepted Answer

The yield on Buddy's bond is 10% ($1,000/$10,000). The current market yield is 9% ($900/$10,000). To find the price of Buddy's bond, set the yield equal to the market yield: $1,000/Price = 0.09. Solving for Price gives approximately $11,111.

Question 16

There is an increase in the money supply and the interest rate does not change.This is what happens if

Accepted Answer

If there is a liquidity trap, the increase in money supply will not lead to a decrease in interest rates as individuals prefer to hold onto their money which leads to a dead end in terms of stimulating the economy.

Question 17

The demand for money rises.According to the Keynesian transmission mechanism,the interest rate __________,investment spending __________ (assuming it is interest-sensitive),the AD curve shifts to the __________ and if the AS curve is horizontal,Real GDP __________.

Accepted Answer

When the demand for money rises, interest rates increase to balance the demand with the available supply. Higher interest rates make borrowing more expensive, which reduces investment spending. This decrease in investment spending causes the aggregate demand (AD) curve to shift to the left. If the aggregate supply (AS) curve is horizontal, indicating a situation of excess capacity or unemployment, a leftward shift in the AD curve would lead to a decrease in real GDP.

Question 18

The Keynesian link between the money market and the goods and services market is __________.Changes in the money market must affect the __________ market before the goods and services market is affected.

Accepted Answer

The Keynesian theory posits an indirect link between the money market and the goods and services market through the investment goods market. Changes in the money market, such as interest rate adjustments, first influence investment decisions, which in turn affect the broader economy.

Question 19

If the economy is in the liquidity trap,people think that

Accepted Answer

In a liquidity trap, people expect that interest rates cannot go lower, which implies that bond prices, which move inversely to interest rates, cannot go higher. Therefore, the only direction left for bond prices is down, as any rise in interest rates would decrease their value.

Question 20

The rules-based monetary policy reads: The annual growth rate in the money supply will be equal to the average annual growth rate in Real GDP minus the growth rate in velocity.If the average growth rate in Real GDP this year is 3 percent and the growth rate in velocity is 2 percent,then the money supply will increase by ______________ percent this year.

Accepted Answer

Applying the rules-based monetary policy, the growth rate in money supply would be 3% - 2% = 1%. Therefore, the money supply will increase by 1% this year.
